Compaq Evo desktop - Red Hat 9 install trouble

I am having a problem with my dual boot desktop Compaq EVO desktop. I cannot install Red Hat 9 to it. It dies right after checking the media. I tried the text install. It stops loading at the "loading /sbin/loader".

I think it is an "Evo D500 Small Form Factor" - D5S. I'm not too sure as the only thing it says on the case is "Evo" apart from a serial number tag.

Just clarifying what happens, after booting the machine, after waiting for a very long time, it will continue with the text installer after "/sbin/loader/".. but that it can't find the RedHat CD in the drive..

And we've tried "linux noprobe" and "linux nousb" from the prompt as well.
